THE FIREWORKS
IN the evening drew an immense crowd.
The two blocks of streets reaching from
South Temple to First North Street,
were thoroughly sprinkled, and ropes
stretched to prohibit the entrance of
any horses or vehicles. The display
was a grand one, and although the
effect was somewhat marred by bright
full moon, was thoroughly enjoyed by
the many hundreds who had assembled
There was no delay in the programme
For about an hour an incessant fusIlade
was kept up, and on the dying out of
the closing piece people returned to
their homes, with one idea uppermost
in their minds-that they had partici
pated in the grandest day for many
year past.
THE LAKE RESORTS.
Never in the history of the Utah &
Nevada road has there been such a de-
mand for tickets as was made on the
Fourth. The morning trains went out
well-filled; at 2.15 there were 400 pas
sengers aboard at AS fully one thou
sand people had assembled at the depot,
but there were no cars at hand, the 2 Is
train not having returned sitter walt
ing half an hour a large number re-
turned home, but when the train pulled
out few minutes later, it carried
twenty carloads, which had been
packed in a most scientific manner. The
night train also carried an immense
throng. Mr.. Ritter says his road
carried between 1000 and $500
passengers during the day, and Mr..
Waterman of the hotel company places,
the number of bathers at 100.
Lake Park was also visited by an
immense throng, and everything passed
off very pleasantly and quietly. The

one, and kept up lively interest all
day.

AT THE THEATRE.
That venerable chestnut, the Green
Lanes of England, drew another 500
for the Home Dramatic Club. on the
Fourth. The matinee was an immense
one, and was made up almost entirely
OF ladies and children, whose gay sum
mer dresses went to make up a very
pretty spectacle; at night, as the show
was playing against the big fireworks, |
the gathering was but fair below, but |
quite heavy above. The play has been
done so often before that No extended
notice is necessary; it is so familiar |
that great part OF the audience could |
have acted as prompters if |
any sticking had occurred. The piece, |
however, was put on in hurry to fill |

well as ever. Mr.. Wells SIS the lover, |
and Birdie Cummings as the heroine, |
did some very earnest, easy and effect |
i've work. Mr.. Evans and Miss Whit |
new filled very well the parts assigned |
to them, the gentleman having fat |
part and taking one with the galleries. |
The Green Lanes is essentially a gal |
lery play its situations, story and clap |
trap sentiment are somewhat gauzy for |
the downstairs element, and this has |
grown particularly apparent since the
play was originally brought out, and it |
has had to stand comparison with other |
plays produced by the same company. |
AT SYRACUSE.
Syracuse, the new bathing resort on |
the Lake shore near Ogden was well |
mainly, however, by |
Ogden people, who were anxious to see
lust what had been accomplished. |
Salt Lake, however, contributed fair |
quota of the numbers present. 1t is
said the new place has a beach nearly,
# not quite, equal to Garfield.
IN THE GARDEN CITY.
The Fourth was appropriately cele-
DRAFTED by all parties, in fact we had
TWO genuine celebrations, neither of
which can lay claim to excelling the
other in any way. The Liberals were
irst in getting out their programme
and are entitled to much credit, for in
All probability if they had not taken
he initiative, we would not have had
any celebration in Provo. In referring
20 these we may designate it as No. l,
and Peoples or Sunday school cele-
Dration as No. 2.
The usual racket with fire crackers
and small arms commenced very early,
hen the salute for original States at
sunrise, the hosting of flags, the
music, and the ringing of bells
brought the people out, and little
.fter 10 am. the first procession No.2,
was ready to take up its line of march.
